SU refunding 
course packs 


by Tim Shoults 

If that course pack you paid 
$45.00 for seemed a little too much, 
it probably was. 

Over 3,000 students have 
received partial refunds from the 
University Bookstore in the last two 
days asa result of overpriced course 
packs. The SU took over production 
of the coursepacks from the 
Bookstore last month. 

Course packs are collections of 
text excerpts and other materials 
designed specifically for U of A 
courses. 

The 


new prices were 


the University Bookstore, agreed 
that there was confusion due to the 
hasty transition. “Everybody’s 
looking bad on this thing when 
every effort has been made to make 
it work right,” he said. 

Some of the price increases from 
the old course packs were 
exceptional. Ron Swan, a second- 
year Agriculture student, noticed 
that his coursepack for the second 
term of his Chemistry lab cost 
almost three times the amount of the 
identical course pack which was 
produced and sold by the Bookstore 
in September. 


“Everybody’s looking bad on this thing when every effort has 
been made to make it work right.” 


—University Bookstore assistant director Bill Quick 


considerably higher than course 
packs from last term due partly to 
an excessive Bookstore markup on 
top of the SU’s price. The new 
technology also caused some course 
packs to be much more expensive 
than others due to the low number 
of copies produced. 

As a result, the SU announced 
this week that refunds will be given 
on a large number of course packs, 
ranging from $0.65 to $29.15 
depending on the course. A 
complete list of the refunds 
available on course packs is found 
on page 12 of today’s Gateway. 

“In the long term, prices will be 
considerably lower ... this refund is 
to fix the problem right now,” said 
Students’ Union president Garett 
Poston. He stated that the SU was 
unaware of the large price 
differences between the old and the 
new course packs until they were 
on the shelves at the Bookstore. 

Another problem was the fact 
that the contract between the 
University and the SU to produce 
course packs was not finalized until 
late last month, which caused some 
rushing in the preparation of the 
course packs. “There was really a 
state of confusion between us and 
the Bookstore,” said Poston. 

Bill Quick, assistant director of 


According to Quick, the 
overpricing in that particular case 
was due to an inventory error. The 
Bookstore informed the SU that 
extra course packs had to be 
produced for the course when 
several hundred of the old course 
packs were available. The Bookstore 
will refund the difference between 
the price of last term’s course pack 
and the course pack and absorb the 
loss. 

In the instance of the other 
refunds based on the SU’s re- 
pricing, it will be the SU who 
absorbs the majority of the costs. 
Quick said that as of Wednesday 
over 3,000 refunds of an 
undetermined amount of money 
had been given to students by the 
Bookstore. 

Quick suggested that the new 
technology used by the SU to create 
course packs has resulted in some 
unavoidably higher prices for 
students. “They're using different 
technology, and that different 
technology was significantly more 
expensive.” 

But according to Poston, the 
problems with the course packs are 
only growing pains, and the system 
should be functioning well by 
September. “We acknowledged that 
this January would only be a trial

run for us,” said Poston. 

“The whole reason we got into the 
course packs in the first place was to 
provide higher-quality, lower-cost 
course packs for students... that’s still 
going to be the outcome, sooner rather 
than later,” said Poston. 

But Swan thinks that the 
confusion is proof that the SU is more 
concerned with profit than with 
lower-cost materials for students. 
“They're saying it'll be cheaper next 
year ... I don’t see how it’s ever going 
to be cheaper for the student.” 

Refunds are available to students 
who purchased course packs at the 
higher prices (before January 13) until 
Friday, January 24 at the Bookstore

Giving birth is no picnic for 
anyone, but childbirth may be even 
more traumatic for minority 
women, according to graduate 
student Denise Spitzer. 

Spitzer spoke on Friday at a 
ad ‘ seminar at the U of A. In her 
igre : ; Past ‘ . 4 ae 
ie Ret. : . presentation, entitled “Invisible 
bas bodies: minority women, hospitals, 
and the childbirth experience,” 
Spitzer explained that for minority 
women, the experience of giving 
birth is often clouded with feelings 
of loss of control, alienation, 
frustration, and fear. 

In her research, Spitzer 
interviewed First Nations, Indo- 
Canadian, Vietnamese-Canadian, 
and European-Canadian women, as 
well as obstetric nurses who interact 
with women from. ethnic 
backgrounds. She found that 
communication barriers were a 
major issue. For many of the women 
she spoke with, “when they were in 
labour... they really felt they wanted 
to speak their native language, even 
though they spoke English,” so that 
trying to express their needs to 
hospital staff was difficult and 
frustrating. Further stress was 
added if the woman’s family 
members did not speak English, 
since she often felt a responsibility 
to translate explanations of what 
was happening, in order to alleviate 
their fears. 

The ordeal of childbirth is 
especially frightening for a woman 
who is not proficient in English, 
because :she is deprived of 
information about procedures; this 
can lead to.distrust of hospital staff, 
Spitzer cited the example.of women 


whose “babies are taken away. 
Maybe they’re being taken for tests 
but [the mothers] have no way of 
knowing.” 

Language also affected the 
women’s treatment by nurses, 
“many [of whom] observed that 
they and their colleagues would 
avoid patients that they have a 
communication barrier with,” said 
Spitzer. Other problems that nurses 
faced were due to cultural 
differences. Spitzer explained that

childbirth experience less 
threatening for minority women. 
The Royal Alexandra Hospital, 
where almost all babies in 
Edmonton are delivered, has just 
received funding to hire a woman 
who speaks Cree or other aboriginal 
languages, to work with pregnant 
First Nations women. Spitzer said 
she is heartened by this step, and 
stressed that “having someone there 
who can act as a cultural broker is 
important to both client and staff.” 


The ordeal of childbirth is especially frightening for a 
woman who is not proficient in English, because she is 
deprived of information about procedures; this can lead to 
distrust of hospital staff. Spitzer cited the example of women 
whose “babies are taken away. Maybe they’re being taken for 
tests but [the mothers] have no way of knowing. 


“generally the nurses try to be 
aware of cultural practices, but 
some admitted discomfort” with 
certain behaviours, especially those 
that conflicted with conventional 
hospital practices, such as 
Vietnamese-Canadians’ belief that 
they should avoid showering and 
washing their hair after giving birth. 
Many of the women Spitzer 
spoke with had experienced racism 
during their hospital stay. They “felt 
that European-Canadians received 
prompter and kinder assistance,” 
and when the patient’s behaviour 
conflicted with hospital rules— 
having a large group of family 
members at her bedside, for 
example—“the admonishments the 
woman received resonated strongly 
with stereotypes.” 5 cj

being called a “dirty Indian” by a

women of ethnic background 
treated nurses with little respect.

Spitzer said that her study has 
helped raise awareness in several 
institutions, but suggested that 
community-based programs should 
also be initiated, where mothers 
could receive prenatal to 
postpartum support from women 
with similar experiences. As health- 
care restructuring shifts the focus of 
recovery from hospitals to the 
home, community support is 
necessary for many women who 
have just given birth, especially 
recent immigrants who are isolated 
from the assistance they would 
traditionally receive from their 
mothers and extended families, 

In the past five years, the length 
of hospital stay for a mother and her 


newborn has decreased from three 


days to 24 hours—a length of time; 
that nurses feel is insufficient to! 
educate new mothers about breast 
feeding, nutrition, and other health 
concerns. Nurses have less time to 
spend with patients, and minority 
women, who often pose an 
additional challenge to a nurse’s 
ability to communicate information 
to her, may be suffering most, she 
said.

Attendance down 


| at athletic events 


by Chris Miller 

There’s no shortage of action in 
university sports—the only thing 
missing is the roar of the crowd. 

Rob Daum, head coach for the 
Golden Bears hockey team, said 
declining attendance at home 
s| games this year has been a 
| disappointment. 

“I don’t think there’s any 
question our attendance hasn't been 
as good as we’re accustomed to,” he 
said Tuesday. “If you have a lot of 
people in the stands who are 
boisterous, it definitely gives [the 
team] a boost.” 

According to the U of A 
Athletics and _ Recreation 
department, there have been an 
average of 500 people per home 
game, down from about 700 per 
game last year. Previous years have 
seen better attendence, Daum said. 

“I know when I played here in 
the late 70s and early 80s, 
attendance was good,” he said. “I 
don’t think the team has. changed 
in the past couple of years, so there 
have got to be some outside 
influences.” 

He said the appearance of the 
Edmonton Ice WHL team may be 
one possibility. Daum also said there 
was less promotion of the Bears on 
Edmonton radio stations this year. 
“I think university sports in general 
tend to get left out.” 

But empty seats haven’t 
changed the team’s attitude toward 
the game, he said. 

n “|The players] give 100 per cent 
g| every time. If you work hard, you'd 
‘| like to show that to as many people 
{| as you can.”

is the best in all things,” he said. “It 
would be nice for [students] to want 
to support their university, whether 
it be sports events, or theatre or 
whatever.” 

While there was some good 
support at the start of the season, 
including the first game which drew 
1,200 fans, Wilkinson ‘said he was 
disappointed the crowds didn’t 
keep coming back. “I thought that 
[for] our first two games, the crowds 
were pretty good. Our third game, 
when we were three-and-one, really 
surprised me... usually if they don’t 
come out, it might be because [the 
team] is losing.”

as many as 3,000 people, but

With the close of another year 
my hopes ina united Canada have 
been renewed. You may scoff at 
that statement if you consider that 
during the last few months of 1996 
English was outlawed on business 
signs in Quebec. Regardless of this, 
I have these hopes after hearing of 
how Lucien Bouchard has decided 
to take a “softer” approach to the 
language laws issue (which almost 
cost him his leadership), his deci- 
sion to accompany the “Team 
Canada” tours and the new 
francophone Quebec political 
party formed to promote unity, and 
Michel Gauthier announcing a 
leadership convention in March. 

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t 
think this issue is over, far from it. 
I also don’t think that Bouchard 
received a visit from the “ ghost of 
Christmas present” foretelling a 
cultural and economic disaster in 
Christmas’ to come if Quebec sepa- 
rates. I am not that naive. 

I do think that there may be 
winds of change to come, not just 
chinooks, but possible changes of 
hearts caused by a loss of faith in 
the benefits of sovereignty. But, this 
cannot happen without us Anglo- 
Canadians. I know we have it in

ployees. This training should not 
be reserved for those who are 
wealthy—it should be available to 
anyone who is willing to put in the 
time, energy, and dedication neces- 
sary to get a degree. 

Consider that with tuition set at 
$3,000 per year, students obtaining 
a BA in four years (often very diffi- 
cult to do for most students who 
increasingly have to work part-time 
to make ends meet) will face at mini-

tion. At the end of four years, the 
total bill for that BA will be $16,192

us, I have seen, felt, and continue 
to feel the emotion that is possible 
for change. Canadians can’t give 
up, the emotion is not dead. My 
first hand experience with this 
emotion only confirms this. 
When I heard about Robert 
Bourassa’s death this past fall, I 
was overcome with sadness at the 
loss of a great Cana- 
dian. I didn’t know 
him personally or 
even know all of his | 
accomplishments, 
but I knew of his 
struggle against 
cancer, and that he ; 
could be credited 
with helping keep 
Canada together. 


His death reminded me of how. 


remote the separation issue seems 
here in Alberta, and I contrasted 
that attitude with what I saw this 
past summer in Montreal, the city 
that kept our country united. It was 
Montreal that allowed the “No” 
side a wafer-thin victory a year ago 
in the Quebec referendum. 

I spent five weeks in Montreal 
at a language exchange program 
during the summer. For the first 
time I was confronted with the is- 
sue of Separation. I had always 
been adamant about being a Fed- 
eralist, but in the West our removal

from the fervor of the issue makes 
the concept almost irrelevant. Four 
provinces away, in the heart of the 
debate, however, being a Federal- 
ist is a carefully guarded position 
revealed only to those who one 
trusts. 

Separation is THE issue in 
Quebec where most graffiti con- 


sists of Separatist support or Fed- 
eralist refutation, not just drunken 
scrawls of graduation dates. On 
one occasion I was appalled and 
shaken to see a “Canadians Go 
Home” sticker. My mom’s parting 
advice came to mind, “Nicole, you 
keep your views to yourself, you 
hear? You're in a foreign land!” At 
the time I thought she was 
delusional. 

And that is exactly what it felt 
like; a foreign land. There was a 
different language, a different cul-

different attitude. But, I was still in

Canada, I was still at home, and 
although it wasn’t my home by 
definition as the place my family 
and I reside, it was still home. Que-

Inuit community in the N.W.T. or 
a mining town in the Maritimes. 
This was Canada, and it won’t be

being booted out of the program, 
and the thought of my mom’s hor- 
ror at my actions. 

Anger can lead to indifference 
or indifference can cause anger; it 
is almost a chicken and egg debate. 
We have all heard or even said 
things like: “just let them go, we'll 
see how long they'll survive.” I’m 
not sure which attitude is worse, 


but at least anger is an opinion. 
And I say this not just because that 
is how I reacted. 

Didn’t these young separatists 
realize that it is our differences in 
this country that are our strength 
and uniqueness? They should 
unite us, not divide us. Yes, 
Quebecois are distinct, as are the 
indigenous peoples, and every 
group of immigrants who came to 
this land. We must celebrate our 
multiculturalism, glorifying the 
fact that there is not just one face 
of Canada, or of Quebec. Perogies, 
salmon, poutine and spuds are as 
different as the Rockies, prairies, 
Arctic, and shield. Robert Bourassa 
knew that, and he fought for it. 

Contrary to public opinion, 
Quebec is too rich a place to lose. 
Robert Bourassa fought a long, dif- 
ficult battle against cancer, and he 
finally lost. Let’s not lose the battle 
with Separatist Quebec through 
indifference; or become like a war 
torn Yugoslavia. I’ve had emotion 
and now so must you!

This is the final article in my 
series on hemp. Here I look at 
the seeds and health benefits of 
hemp in comparison to the ordi- 
nary flax plant. 

Hemp and flax both produce 
valuable oilseeds. The hemp ad- 
vocates brag that hemp seed is 
second only to soy beans in pro- 
tein content at about 19 to 24 per- 
cent. Technically that may be 
true if you take into account that 
it is tied for second with legumes 
and several other oilseeds in- 
cluding flax. The oil of these 
seeds is particularly important. 
Hemp is about 25 to 35 percent 
oil whereas flax is about 35 to 44 
percent oil making flax the supe- 
rior source. Of this oil, 80 per- 
cent is unsaturated in hemp 
(which some advocates say is the 
highest of any seed), and 90 per- 
cent is unsaturated in flax, mak- 
ing flax the healthier choice. The 
taste is about the same for both. 
Linseed oil (flax seed oil as a 
byproduct of the linen industry) 
is usually more bitter although 
its nutritional value is the same. 

Unlike hemp seed which is

rather expensive, flax seed is one 
of the least expensive seeds 
around. Pricecheck: 2 lbs bag of 
hemp seeds at the True North 
Hemp Co. - $10; 2 Ibs of bulk or- 
ganically grown brown flax seed 
across the street at Terra Foods - 
$2. And, unlike the hemp seeds, 


the flax doesn’t have a warning 
on it saying, “Important: float to 
remove rocks”. 

Hemp oil is often used for 
paints, varnishes, and other oil 
based products. Flax seed oil 
(and linseed oil) is also used for 
paints, varnishes and several 
other oil based products — in-

cluding linoleum (named after 
linseed oil). Both oils have nearly 
identical uses, give or take a few 
products on either side. 

The unsaturated fats in these 
oils are particularly important to 
health. Hemp advocates often 
like to point out the medicinal 
benefits of smoking marijuana, 
particularly in cases of cancer 
and MS. Marijuana is really only 
effective as a pain killer and per- 
haps as an anti-nauseant, and 
does nothing towards actually 
curing or preventing diseases. 
These unsaturated fats, however, 
may actually help prevent or 
even cure them. 

Hemp and flax oils contain 
two essential unsaturated fatty 
acids: linolenic acid (omega3) 
and linoleic acid (omega6). Ac- 
cording to some research, an 
Q3:Q6 ratio of roughly 0.7:1 will 
actually prevent the formation of 
malignant tumors and reduce the 
size of existing ones. The same 
research suggests that to much 
Q6 may actually promote cancer.

mammals, Paleolithic humans, 
and cultures where’cancer rates

are low also suggest that 1:1 is 
best. Nonetheless, hemp advo- 
cates say the perfect ratio is 1:3, 
which, of course, is the ratio in 
hemp seed oil. Even if that is the

optimum ratio, they neglect to 


_ mention that the typical Western 


diet has ratio of around 1:10 or 
1:11, making hemp oil a poor 
supplement for bringing one to 
the appropriate level. Flax seed 
oil on the other hand has a 3:1 ra- 
tio making it far superior. 

Q3 plays a role in the treat- 
ment of many other diseases as 
well. (3 will lower cholesterol

levels in many people reducing 
the chance of heart disease. It 
also reduces pain of arthritis. 
Lack of 93 is the cause of many 
skin conditions, and there is evi- 
dence to suggest that it may con- 
tribute to MS. 

Another advantage of flax 
seed oil over hemp seed oil is 
price. Pricecheck: 238ml bottle 
of hemp seed oil at the True 
North Hemp Co. - $28; 270 ml 
bottle of flax seed oil at Terra 
Foods- $7. 

Finally, a gum can be ex- 
tracted from flax seeds. This 
gum can be used as a natural 
food additive in making ice 
cream and soda pop. Vegetar- 
ians may find it interesting that 
flax gum can also be used as an 
egg white substitute (although it 
lacks the leavening effect). I 
have read that since the gum is 
contained within the seed itself, 
ground flax seed can also be 
used. No similar product can be 
obtained from hemp. 

Flax can do everything hemp 
can do and in many cases do it 
better. It just can’t be made into 
a narcotic. . Like David):flaxihas 
brought down the hemp monster 
like Goliath. I didn’t search high 
and low for a champion; flax was 
really one of the first ones that 
came to mind. But, if hemp can’t 
even stand up to a plain and or- 
dinary plant like flax, perhaps 
the hemp advocates should re- 
think their position.

THROUGH THE LENS 


Getting bored of the same old routine? 
The Group of Several, a local group of artistic 
photographers, has something for you. The 
group exhibits some of the freshest work to 
come out of Edmonton yet. Whether young 
or old, this is an exhibit that should not be 
missed. The visit to Profiles Gallery is well 
worth the drive out to St. Albert. 

The Group of Several is a dedicated group 
of local photographers with various back- 
grounds. With a range of styles, from 
photojournalistic to the more avant-garde, the 
members of the group present some of their 
best work for sale and viewing pleasure. 

The exhibit at Profiles, a relatively small 
gallery, is a collection of work ranging from 
three: to five pieces by each photographer. 
Each work is unique in its materials, format 
and, most importantly, in the message they 
deliver. 

One of the photographers on exhibit, 
Randall Raiche, uses existing light and super- 
high-speed black and white film to produce 
his signature grainy style. Raiche’s pictures, 


particularly / Playlet #9,” lookmysterious yet. , 


revealing. Raiche has an interesting ability to 
involve the viewer right in the picture. 
Through his images, he evokes the sense of 
sound and motion. One can almost sme} the 
coffee at the café in “Playlet #9.” His work 
can be most closely compared to the modern- 
ist photographer Brassai. 

Another member of the group, Delbert 
Kostura, uses Polaroid image transfer for a 
series of photos which he calls “June 10, 1931.” 
Kostura also has on display a very interest- 
ing photo called “Lilith.” “Lilith’s” composi- 
tion and hand colouring is quite criginal. 
“Lilith” portrays the grace and beauty of a 
dancer, while maintaining the notion of move- 
ment through slow shutter speeds. 

Artistic photography has been around 
since the invention of the camera obscura, but 
like any medium in the visual arts, the style 
keeps on changing. Through mastering the 
technical aspects of the camera, the Group of 
Several has been able to push the envelope 
on conventional photography. As Bob Todrick 
(one of the group’s members) states in his in- 


troduction, “I stopped waiting for the deci- 
sive moment and decided to concentrate on 
how I felt about the world around me through 
my photographs.” Todrick has a display at 
the Gallery entitled “Breasts.” 

Other photographs on display were by 
Collin Orthner, who has been published in 
Life magazine, and features a series on the 
movement of water; Jim Ainsle, whose work 
with medium format infrared is technically 
and artistically spectacular; Micheal Bayans, 
whose photograph of a street in Amsterdam 
called “Pillars Perspective” is the strongest 


Heads, joys, 


If you have plans this Friday, you may 
wish to change them and take a little trip 
down to the Convention Centre. At a show 
presented in part by the U of A Engineers’ 
Society, people will be treated to an evening 
of entertainment, courtesy of the Headstones, 
Killjoys and the Bloody Chicletts. 

Headstones fans will be happy to see the 
Ontario-based rockers in Edmonton once 
again, bringing their brand of aggressive, hard 
hitting rock and roll. The Headstones have 
been busy of late, with one of their projects 
being the film Hard Core Logo, in which lead 
singer Hugh Dillon played the title character. 


The band is also coming out with a new al- 
bum this March, and Edmontonians will al- 
most surely be treated to a preview of many 
of the new songs. 

The Killjoys are currently on a Western 
Canadian tour and will be joining the Head- 
stones for this, their third show of the tour. 
Gene, the drummer from the Killjoys was 
kind enough to take some time to answer a 
few questions over the phone. While the com- 
bination of the pop-rock music of the Killjoys 
and the Headstones’ heavier style seems 
somewhat awkward, it apparently works out 
quite well. “We did a show with them this 
summer at Sunfest ... we wondered the same 
thing, but it actually worked out really well, 
and gave both bands the chance to draw on 
different crowds.” The Killjoys have played 
with the Headstones several times now, and 
they are looking forward to playing with them

photograph of the exhibit; Tracy Grabowski, 
whose style in self-portraiture is comparable 
to Joyce Neimanas, and whose colour selec- 
tion is like that of Harry Callahan; Brad 
Callihoo, who incorporates full frame print- 
ing and exceptional tonal ranges in his series 
on native life at Peerless Lake; and John 
Huising, whose images of hands evoke 
thought and discussion in true postmodernist 
fashion. 

Robert Frank, a late twentieth century 
avant-garde artist, said it best: “There is one 
thing the photograph must contain: the hu-

manity of the moment. This kind of photog- 
raphy is realism. But realism is not enough— 
there has to be vision and the two together 
can make a good photograph. It is difficult to 
describe this thin line where matter ends and 
mind begins.” The photographers of the 
group of several have successfully melded the 
two to present an intriguing exhibit. 

So, if your batteries need recharging, or if 
you just need a place to go ona date, Profiles 
Public Gallery is for you. And it’s free! 


and chicletts 


again. Apparently, the band didn’t even know 
about the Headstones until they checked their 
tour schedule, and were surprised to see the 
Convention Centre listed on a series of club 
shows. 

This is the third tour in half a year for the 
three friends from Hamilton, and they are 
looking forward to it. The band is playing 
about a 60/40 mix of songs from their new 
album Gimme Five and their old one, Starry. 
Songs should include past hits “Dana” and 
“Today I Hate Everyone” as well as their most 
recent single, “Soaked.” Their next single, 
“Look like Me,” has a claymation video in the 
works, which will apparently hold true to its 
title. Gene informed me, “[They] just spent 
the last little while checking things out, mak- 
ing sure the faces matched up.” 

The Killjoys tour will take them from 
Winnipeg to Vancouver, and all the major cit- 


ies in between, including one in Grande Prai- 
rie. “That show should be interesting; we did 
one there before, and it was really good, they 
don’t get many shows up there are really 
happy when someone comes.” 

Along for the ride are the Bloody 
Chicletts, whose name stems from a term 
when you punch someone and knock their 
teeth out. Their current single, “She's a Freak,” 
is also getting a fair bit of airtime, and I would 
recommend not showing up late and miss- 
ing their set. Doors to the show openat 8 p.m., 
and the bands will probably get underway 
between 9 and 10. Tickets are $16 after serv- 
ice charges and are available at information 
booths on campus and through Ticketmaster. 
This is one show you definitely want to check 
out, you will not be disappointed

DULL PORTRAIT 


Campion’s new period piece out of tune (unlike The Piano) 


Jane Campion’s The Portrait of A Lady 
is as stiff and dry as a still life. It is a 
cold and banal period film with little 
emotional content and a baffling array 
of characters who come and go seem- 
ingly at random. On the whole the act- 
ing is quite good, though it does not 
come anywhere near being good 
enough to save this film from medioc- 
rity. 

Nicole Kidman plays Isabelle 
Archer, an independent American 
woman visiting her cousins in Britain. 
She is an independent woman because 
she has refused marriage proposals 
from a variety of suitors, including Mr. 
Goodwood, who has followed her from 
the United States, and now in the UK 
she has to fend off Lord Warburton. To 
aid her in her quest to remain single 
and travel, her cousin Ralph (Martin 
Donovan) talks his dying father into 
leaving her a fortune in his will. Ralph 
is also in love with Isabelle, but as he 
has consumption he knows he cannot 
be a proper husband to her, so he 
wishes to aid her in any way possible. 
Also aiding her in her quest to remain 
free, or so Isabelle believes, is another 
American ex-patriot, Madame Merle, 
played wonderfully by Barbara 
Hershey. Actually all Madame Merle 
wants is to set up Isabelle with her 
“friend” Osmond (John Malkovich). 
Osmond wants to marry Isabelle for her 
money, and $0 he'can’add her to’his art 
collection. 

The film plods along, and at no time 
do you feel sympathetic for Isabelle or her 
plight, anc even though she is supposed 
to be a smart and independent women, 
she comes across as naive and somewhat 
dim half of the time. Her character is ab- 
solutely enveloped by Osmond in a love- 
less marriage, and if she were half of the 
character she was meant to be in the film, 
she never would have stood for it. In the 
end it is up to Ralph, Goodwood and 
Warburton to help her. Kidman does well 
in the role for what it allows her to do, 
which is mostly burst into tears. I wish I 
had kept a running count of how many 
times she cries; it is near a dozen or so. 
The film’s best performances come from 
Malkovich and Hershey, though. 

As Osmond, Malkovich reprises the role 
of glossy veneered creep which he began 
with Dangerous Liasons. The fact that he can 
make C'smond, who is fundamentally simi-

lar to Valmont into a different character is a 
credit to his acting ability. Osmond is a con-

being a one dimensional character and is 
the only character in the film who under- 
goes any sort of transformation, even 
though we are never allowed to see the 
end result of her change which is a seri- 
ous omission from the movie. 

The rest of the cast is adequate. Their 
characters’ random appearances leave 
a bad taste though, and this probably 
stems from the editing of the book into 
screenplay format. 

Campion makes some odd 
directoral choices, some of which 
work, others do not. First of all, even 
though the film is set in the Victorian 
era (1872), Campion opens with a shot 
of modern girls, ending on one listen- 
ing to a portable CD player. Other sty- 
listic choices include the use of an an- 
tique camera to record travel se- 
quences, which actually works quite 
well, and a couple of fantasy se- 
quences, and a token nude shot of 
Kidman. Also, for a film which is 
about two and a half hours long, it 
ends rather abruptly, changing the 
ending slightly from the novel, and 
leaving a lot of questions. 

In the end, The Portrait of A Lady 
is just not an engaging film. You do 
not care about what happens to the 
protagonist; which you must to make 
any movie watchable. As far as period 
films go, this will make you appreci- 
ate Merchant Ivory movies all the 
more. Save this for the dollar theater, 
and if you are desperate for a period 
film, wait for Ridicule, which is com-

Victoria is the top team in the 
conference. 

They have the top two 
rebounders in the conference. 

Four of their players are 
ranked in the top 20 in scoring. 

Oh no, there’s no pressure. 

The University of Alberta 
Golden Bears are headed back to 
the west coast this weekend to 
challenge the University of 
Victoria Vikes. 

The Vikes are currently 
ranked first in Canada West, a 
mere two points ahead of the U 
of A. The key to taking two wins 
from the Vikes in their gym is 


key thing to playing UVic is 
being able to handle that press,” 
said Darrah. 

Victoria has four of the top 20 
scorers in the conference and are 
a threat from anywhere on the 
court. Eric Hinrichsen, Pat 
Cannon, Aaron Olsen and Seth 
Adler are all scoring well this 
year for Victoria, In addition, 
Victoria also has a great inside 
game with Cannon and 
Hinrichsen leading the 
conference in rebounds. 

“They've got a couple of 
good shooters, a good solid point 
guard ... they’ve got a good 
team. They are possibly the best 


“We're not a shabby team either, we are one of the best 
teams in the country too.” 


— Bears captain Jeff Collier on the state of bisteam 
heading to the coast to face UVic, the 


going to be in the mental 
preparation. 

“| think we learned from last 
weekend that you can be over 
prepared. We’re just coming into 
this weekend knowing that we 
have to work hard ... not come 
out flat like we did last 
weekend,” said Golden Bear 
Max Darrah. 

However, although they 
don’t want to over-prepare, the 
Bears have to keep in mind who 
they are facing. 

“This weekend is probably 
the most important weekend of 
the year so far,” said Golden Bear 
Mike Smith. 

With a chance to move up in 
the standings the Bears are also 
going to have to be at the top of 
their game this weekend. 

“They have a press that gives 
a lot of teams a lot of trouble. The 


top team in Canada West 


team in the country,” said U of A 
team captain Jeff Collier. 

However, this is by no means 
a mismatch. The Bears are one of 
the few teams that can present a 
real challenge to the Vikes. 

“We're not a shabby team 
either, we are one of the best 
teams in the country too,” said 
Collier. 

Regardless of which team 
emerges victorious _ this 
weekend, both games will 
undoubtedly be close. As two of 
the most talented teams in the 
country battle it out, the rest of 
the CIAU should be paying close 
attention, because chances are 
one or both of these teams will 
be challenging for the national 
title this year. 

Oh no, there’s no pressure at 
all, not at all. Yeah, right.

The Bears escape from one 
frying pan and end up in the fire 
next weekend. 

After being swept by the 
University of Calgary two 


losing a game to Regina last 
weekend and UBC drawing to 
within a point of Lethbridge for the 
last playoff spot in the West 
Division has made this weekend 
crucial. Any dreams the Bears have 


“They have a lot to prove to the league ... 


so we have 


to be prepared.” 


— Bears defenceman Glen Pullishy on 


what makes UBC so dangerous 


weekends ago and then winning 
two overtime victories over the 
University of Saskatchewan you 
thought the University of Alberta 
Golden Bears hockey team would 
get a chance to relax. But, this 
weekend in Vancouver against the 
last place team in the CWUAA 
West Division, University of British 
Columbia, they are still up against 
the wall. 

“All the weekends from here 
on in are big weekends. You can’t 
relax in this league, for a second. If 
you relax you lose,” said Bears 
head coach Rob Daum. 

The development of Calgary 


of finishing in first in the league 
live and die with this weekend. 

“With Calgary losing a game 
to Regina and with the schedule 
that they [Calgary] have there’s 
still a chance, if we can keep 
winning, to finish in first place. 
We're going to need some help 
from some other teams, but 
Calgary’s schedule lends itself to 
the possibility of that 
happening,” said Daum 

This Friday’s game will also 
count as the final to the 
Christmas UBC tournament after 
the game had to be canceled due 
to a power outage. However, the 


Bears have already put that 
tournament in the past are 
looking towards the future, as far 
ahead as the playoffs. 

“We have to be thinking 
about home-ice advantage in the 
playoffs, I think that’s the biggest 
motivator,” said Bears 
defenceman Glen Pullishy. 

“Tt would just be bonus if we

won it [the tournament], finished 
it off right,” added Bears forward 
Mike Thompson. 

“I think what we have to do, 
as a team, is continue to set our 
sights on Calgary, that’s our 
motivation,” added gee

Myden visits UofA for CWUAA fi nals 


by Wade Tymchak 

At the Olympics silver was 
good enough for him, but at the 
CWUAA swimming championship 
meet the University of Calgary’s 
Curtis Myden won't be satisfied 
with anything but gold. From the 
sounds of it he should have no 
trouble satisfying his metallic 
appetite. 

“There will be guys who will be 
competitive in some races with him, 
but I think he’s pretty much going 
to win his events. I can’t see anyone 
really challenging him, but stranger 
things have happened,” said U of 
A head coach Deb Sigaty. 

Although from the sounds of it 
the other men attending the 
championship hosted by the U of A 
in the West Pool won’t be that much 
of a challenge to Myden in truth 
there are a number of quality 
swimmers. Victoria’s Dino 
Verbrugge, British Columbia’s 
Dustin Hersee, Calgary’s Chris 
Renaud, and Alberta’s Collin Sood 
and Michael Knight aren’t going to 
allow Myden to be the only hero. 
Sood and Knight should also make 
the U of A a top-three competitor. 

“We should be top-three in both 
[men’s and women’s]. On the men’s 
side ... Calgary and BC both have 
really strong teams, they both have 
Olympians from the last Olympic 
Games on their teams which we 
don’t have. But, we do have quite a 
bit of depth and we have some guys 
who are going to place in the top- 
three. So, we'll be in there for sure 

. and I think we should be 
competitive,” said Sigaty. 

The Pandas swim team should 
also make a decent showing, 
especially with the presence of 
women’s swimming giant Sabrina 
Wilson on the team. Any showing 
the women put up should bode well 
for nationals considering the 


sastzigth of competition in Canada 
West. 

“Canada West is, judging from 
the last rankings, the strongest 
[conference]. This is probably some 


of the aitaiaes swimming right now 
in Canada,” said Sigaty. 

At this level no one will be 
satisfied with anything less than 
gold, evenif they are facing Myden.

Nation wide conspiracy 


by Denise Fernandes 

It is a grand conspiracy. 

Over the past month the 
University of Alberta Pandas 
volleyball team has missed a road 
game and a tournament because of 
the bad weather. It seems that other 
teams, in order to avoid being 
destroyed by the Pandas, have the 
roads and airports closed to 
prevent the Pandas from 
bulldozing through. 

This weekend the Pandas will 
get some game experience when 
they host the Panda Classic from 
Jan. 17-19. This tournament will 
involve the University of 
Saskatchewan Huskies, the 
University of Regina Cougars, the 
University of Winnipeg Wesmen, 
the University of Toronto Varsity 


Blues and will also give the Pandas 
a chance to test out their new 
image. . 

“We've had about six weeks 
off, “ said the Pandas Shandra 
Doran, “[but] it’s rough in the gym 
all the time.” 

The Pandas expect to come out 
of this tournament with nothing 
less than before. 

“We're =“ to win,” said 
Doran. 

“T think we can win and it’s 
good to play more matches,” 
added the Pandas Mirka Pribylova. 

Pandas head coach Laurie 
Eisler has adopted the philosophy 
that even the great ones need a 
challenge as she altered the offence 
to make it faster. Either that or she 
wants to spend less time in the gym 


and more time enjoying the 
weather. 

“We have to play harder, If we 
pass better we can do that. It’s good 
that she [Eisler] is doing this. We 
have to improve,” said Pribylova. 

Improve? Really? Ask the 
Pandas victims and they certainly 
won't agree. 

“We have a fabulous setter, 
great hitters so we have the 
advantage over other teams,” said 
Doran. 

With the Pandas deciding to 
speed up their game, and with the 
winter weather showing signs of 
going far, far away (hopefully), the 
competition better start relying on 
something other than the weather 
to ae the Pandas out of their 


Education Gym to mutate into field 


by Wade Tymchak 
With snow covering Lister Turf 


7 and cold weather making the 


outdoors as appealing as cod liver 
oil there is only one place for the 
University of Alberta Pandas field 
hockey team to turn, the gym. 
After a disastrous CIAU 
championship tournament in 
Victoria at the beginning of 
November the Pandas field hockey 
team returns to the spotlight, or at 
least to the Sports pages of the 
Gateway. This weekend the Pandas 
will play host to the University of 
Alberta Indoor Field Hockey 
Tournament, a competition that is 
destined for some great 
competition. 
“The two Alumni teams are 
very good’..: and the team from 


"Saskatchewan will have a couple of 
ex-Olympians on it,” said Pandas 
head coach Dru Marshall. 

The tournament will be 
attended by the U of A, two 
University of Calgary teams, a 
Saskatchewan team, an Alberta 
Under-18 team, a Saskatchewan 
Senior team, a U of A Alumni team, 
and a U of C Alumni team. 

For the university teams and 
the Alberta Under-18 team this will 
be a great opportunity for the 
coaches to work on the technical 
aspect of the game with the players. 
With the confined spaces, highly 
skilled players, and fast pace only 
perfection will prevail. 

“We use indoor for a number of 
different reasons, but the primary 
one is to hone their [the player’s] 


technical skills,” said Marshall. 
“Indoor is a great game in that it 
works on close teamwork in very 
close in situations and you really 
have to be technically proficient to 
play it.” 

Having the opportunity to work 
on the technical aspect of the 
players’ games is one of the benefits 
of holding an indoor tournament, 
but it also allows the players to have 
some fun. The game is exciting, 
different, and carries with it none of 
the pressure that the CIAU season 
and championship do. 

“Our main goal is just to go out 
and have some fun. It’s an exciting 
game and they enjoy playing it and 
it’s a little bit different,” said 
Marshall. 

Ah, fun on the floor.
